//here is the code that actually worked. You put it in the script area with the rest of your analytics code right at the bottom.ga(‘send’, { ‘hitType’: ‘event’, // Required. ‘eventCategory’: ‘live-events’, // Required. ‘eventAction’: ‘click’, // Required. ‘eventLabel’: ‘live-events’, ‘eventValue’: 1});

</script>

Then you make sure the link that you are clicking on has the correct id, in this case id=”live-events”

I used the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to add the ability to change the event name along with the image. If you just use a normal text field entry type with the convert HTML to tags selected then it works.
